George Springer Returns to Lineup for Game 6 of ALCS
George Springer (knee) is in the lineup as the designated hitter Sunday night for Game 6 against the Seattle Mariners. Springer was hit squarely on the kneecap by a 96 mph fastball from Bryan Woo in Friday's loss and was questionable to play. X-rays came back negative, and it became a matter of mobility and strength to determine his availability. The Blue Jays are relieved to have their veteran leadoff hitter back for a must-win contest as they look to take two at home and advance to the World Series against the Dodgers. Springer has been a key contributor this postseason, slashing .256/.318/.615 with three home runs in nine games.
